Tater Tot Pizza Casserole

August 29, 2023 Amanda Plott

Tater Tot Pizza Casserole is a truly magnificent creation that effortlessly combines the flavors of two guilty pleasures in a very guilt free way. Pizza. And tater tots. It’s a kid friendly dish that adults are going to love as well. It’s lightened up by using a lean ground turkey meat in place of any sausage or standard ground beef. I also chose to add some turkey pepperoni to mine because they taste just as good as regular pepperoni but save some calories.

One of my favorite things about this casserole is that it’s super quick and easy to toss together, and could really be made ahead of time and just not baked until you’re ready for dinner. Of course, if you wanted to you could go with really any meat you wanted to here - Italian sausage, beef, turkey, etc. But, I was keeping it extra light this time!…

Regardless of whether you yearn for the delights of Mexican or Italian fare, Taco Lasagna graciously fulfills all your cravings, elevating your dinner experience to new heights…

Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Breakfast Casserole

Several years back I whipped up this wonderful breakfast casserole for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s so easy almost anyone could make it for the wonderful mother in their life. This breakfast (or brunch) casserole is full of the homestyle flavors of biscuits and gravy, but lightened up to give mom a guilt free meal!

Since this is an older recipe, I decided to revisit it, and wouldn’t you know it? Not far off from Mother’s Day again. It’s a happy coincidence!…

Cheesy Ranch Chicken Bake

April 21, 2023 Amanda Plott

Here it is, the easies and cheesiest of casseroles for dinner that you’ll ever make from scratch. This pasta dish starts out with veggies and a roux that quickly comes together as a cheese sauce that’s mixed up with chicken and pasta and baked to perfection.

I did the smart thing here and used up the odds and ends of leftover smaller pastas that I had on hand in my pantry. That included some wheat elbow noddles, regular mini shells, and also some veggie rotini. So if you’re looking for a way to use up the ends of boxes of pasta, this is for you!…
